Bert's Joke of the Month



Walking into the bar, Paddy said to O'Brian the
bartender, 'Pour me a stiff one - just had another
fight with the little woman.' 

'Oh yeah?' said O'Brian, 'And how did this one end?'

'When it was over,' Paddy replied, 'She came to
me on her hands and knees.'

'Really,' said O'Brian, 'Now that's a switch! What did she say?' 

She said, 'Come out from under the bed, you little chicken.'
